HA! From this morning's Programming Insider email:

Before I get into the overnights rating results, let me focus on CBS' Survivor: Micronesia for a moment. Erik…are you crazy? Nuts? Cuckoo? Meshugenah? Could you believe he fell for that scheme to give the immunity necklace to Natalie? As James appropriately noted, this is now the dumbest move in the history of the Survivor franchise. All I can say at this point is…go Cirie!

It's everywhere.

Oh. My. God.

I'm finally caught up on Survivor. I've mainlined it over the last three days. Best. Survivor. Ever. SO HILARIOUS!

I'm very tempted to change my tag to "Because it's just a stick."

Oh man, I kept thinking about you catching up and how much fun you were going to have. There have been truly epic levels of fail the last few weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG! Promos are fair game here, right? Sam Talbot back on Top Chef!!

Catching up on the last couple of weeks of Top Chef -

The $10 at Whole Foods thing wasn't as bad as I expected. But that rice challenge - what the fuck was that? I don't object to product placement, but I draw the line at actual pre-cooked convenience foods. Even the junk food thing required people to go a little crazy - this was just purely in service to the advertiser.

Am so so over Top Caterer. Can we get back to the real cooking please?

Now back to watch Survivor again. Hee!

Art Crawl!!!

Sam is the guest judge, right?

I read elsewhere that Hung is also going to be a guest judge.

Needed to be said again.

Also, yay, Sam! Good times indeed.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

For such an awesome season, that reunion show sucked ass! I mean, they normally do, but that was a particular let down. Did Parvati/Cirie/Amanada talk for more than 10 minutes? At least Cirie and Parvati both looked beautiful. Amanda looked insane with the Farrah-hair, but maybe that's what dating Ozzy does to you.

Ah, well. Still a quality season of Survivor.
